"The observer listens to nature: the experimenter questions and forces her to reveal herself." Happy #histsci birthday to the great comparative anatomist Georges Cuvier. He was born #OnThisDay in 1769.

It’s been another great couple of days for our Cruise Conservationists & passengers on board the @pandocruises Azura in the Mediterranean, with over 300 dolphins seen yesterday & 5 Cuvier’s beaked whales!
Malayan tapirs were first described to Western science by Anselme Gaëtan Desmarest in 1819 - seven years after Georges Cuvier discounted the likelihood of “discovering new species of the larger quadrupeds” - and Baird's tapirs weren't described until 1865.

More #paleoart for @cpdinosaurs. Here's the large Chalk pterosaur Cimoliopterus cuvieri, a species that inspired (at least in part) the larger CP pterosaur models. This image is an updated one from my 2013 book (actually drawn in 2011: it took time to get that book together).

#CzCon2018 ~> #CzCon2019 Year of the Tapir. In 1812, Baron George Cuvier made what the cryptozoologist Bernard Heuvelmans called his "Rash Dictum": he said that it was unlikely that any large animal remained undiscovered. In 1819, the Malayan Tapir was discovered. ~ @CryptoLoren

There are 22 species of beaked whale in UK. Cuvier's beaked whale dives deeper & longer than any other mammal. Learn more about UK species with @NHM_London UK Species Inventory Project https://t.co/jlYuSrVJQ1 #BNH #ArchibaldThorburn
